Wild business model for no update in SEVEN years
I was excited to see Greek on the available list of languages, so decided to take a gamble, given the No Details Provided. . Imagine my surprise to find after downloading an already extremely outdated app with ‘No Details Provided’ Is my data safe? Is my privacy protected?) and banner ads, that you cannot even sample ONE. SINGLE. WORD. with the audio enabled, without signing up for a 3 day trial. Yes, not even a full week.
This app has not been updated in seven years, has banner ads, and you can’t even offer a sample section with a few basic phrases with the audio enabled, to see if it’s even worth purchasing your app.
And where is the LIFETIME option? I don’t do the endless subscription model. I like to buy my apps ONCE and actually own them.
If this app were regularly updated, and I could test out what the quality of voices used, and perhaps explore how the offline feature works, you might have more luck convincing me of its value. I was so shocked by the way it is set up, that I had to go research whether this is even a Collin’s product (The app is in fact genuine/associated with Collins.) The name Collins used to indicate it was a quality product. I happily used an actual Collin’s English dictionary with my EFL students with no problems- no subscription fee either and it is STILL MINE.👎

A terrible dictionary
I am terribly disappointed with this dictionary. It doesn’t deliver.
Missing Languages
I could only give 3 stars since many languages are not available. I realize it is a large task to cover all languages. The biggest letdown was seeing Arabic, but not finding Hebrew, which may be the oldest language still in use today. I also did not find Hindi or Chinese, very disappointing.
A scam
I pay $5.99 for this app helping me with words translation from French to English and it doesn’t work at all. When I write a word for translation it gives a list of words beginning with A what ever the word I am asking for. It’s a perfect scam as I do not find any way to be reimbursed.
Cancel Subscription
I want to cancel the monthly payment subscription. WHERE? HOW? I've been all over the internet and met with dead ends. App was dounloaded 9-3-2024 ad after a week of frustration using the app, I realized that my other dictionaries better meet my multi-linguistic needs.
Do I have a life sentence of paying a $0.99/month charge for this unwanted downloaded app?
